Well what can I say ladies and gentlemen,finally Mahalo Answers is out.For the past couple of hours i have been trying it out suffice to say i have a 106 points I am yellow belt,having viewed over sixty pages in the past six hours.

The whole concept is very innovative a person posts a question in the various grouped categories e.g science and mathematics,humor,legal you name it.You then choose to answer with the top menu having the following options,open questions,offering tip,popular ,answered and undecided.



You pick (like I did)the questions with the highest amount of tips in mahalo dollars,where 1 mahalo ($m) dollar is equivalent to 1 Us ($)dollar.The tips were generally in the region of 1$m to 10$m.So you pick the question and you proceed to answer it,you give a write up,embed a video,photo or audio to support your answer and provide links(optional)then you hit the submit button.

If your answer is chosen as THE answer your mahalo dollars go to your account,when your account reaches 40 mahalo dollars,you can redeem your money via paypal,minus 25 % which effectively goes to the house or is the commission charged by mahalo answers.i.e goes to Jason's pocket.It is fun considering that Jason himself is out there posting questions and earning himself some good Mahalo loot.

Small wonder then that he is the Top Member earning as of 7:00 GMT,Wednesday,December of 2008,56 Mahalo dollars,1421 points and a purple belt.I guess it's out of courtesy because the man created the damn thing.Anyhow it is fun all around with people earning some real money. I am determined to get to green belt (140 points to go) before sundown and earn me some real mahalo dollars to boot.
